PGL - DAY THREE UPDATED

22 Oct 2014

Day 3!

A bit of a slower start this morning! It was a struggle to get up for some children after all the excitement of yesterday.

Today we are looking forward to more climbing and high ropes, some Aqua Fun and the Zip Wire. We are going to finish off with Robot Wars and for anyone who STILL has energy to burn a spot of football! In amongst all of that we are going to make sure we have a some birthday cake to celebrate Dylan's big day!

We are thankful that the weather has held up and we weren't blown away in the Dragon boats.

Keep checking Twitter throughout the day for photos of our adventures.
